we're looking at a real reduction in the u.s. gdp, in the u.s. economy and if the u.s. economy slows down, dramatically, that spreads like wildfire across the rest of the world. so it's not a couple hundred thousand jobs in the u.s. we're talking about tens of millions of jobs around the world and in an unstable world, i think we have to look beyond -- beyond ideology and get to a solution. >> i would take the clinton tax rates in a heartbeat if i could get the clinton spending rates. but neither side wants to talk about spending. it's not a deal to me if they're not going to talk about spending. >> i agree with you, eric. i think you're right. i wrote about that, too. but i think the president now, he's sort of signaled that he may be looking for some wiggle room here. later this afternoon he said that he wanted the tax rate cut now and he would be happy to look at lowering them again in a bigger package, but i agree with you. i think we have to get serious about these spending cuts. i just applied for social security and i want mine. >> all right. rich, appreciate it.

what is it saying about this new u.s. intelligence and now new warnings from the united states all the way up to president obama about a red line on the use of chemical weapons? >> reporter: well, the regime has historically denied that it would use any sort of chemical weapons against its own population, but that is something of an empty promise, at least from the perspective of everyone we have been speaking to about this. many of those fighters that we talked on the ground do say they do believe the greater the stranglehold they have on regime forces in the city of aleppo grows, the greater the likelihood is that in a desperate attempt to somehow either regain control or wreak mass havoc on the population, the regime would not hesitate when it comes to employing these types of weapons. and of course, when it does come to chemical warfare, there is very little if anything anyone here can do to protect themselves against that. >> well, that was the follow. do they have any defenses, are there any defenses and what are th

barbara starr is reporting that the u.s. doesn't think that korea has any control out of this, short of saying it's tumbling out of control, they're not in full control. does that matter? is this splitting hairs or semantics, or is this really still quite a leg that they have now up in this battle? >> i think it's significant that they were able to establish the capability of launching a three-stage rocket. i think we will determine whether they were able to put a tip or at least some form of a satellite into an orbit and then what's it doing up there, at this point, is not significant. we shouldn't worry that that was an armed or a nuclearized or a weaponized tip. i think they just wanted, primarily, to establish the ability to launch it into an extra atmospheric type of orbit, and they were able to do that with a three-stage rocket. the real concern that we would have is how do they weaponize that. but this clearly is a provocation against all u.n. resolutions. >> it's a big difference, weaponizing with wmds or nukes. and
